The Kickstarter superstar gaming console project gets its first radio app.

The OUYA is a $99 gaming console built on the Android platform that's created serious buzz after it conjured up $1 million dollars in "normal people" funding on Kickstarter in a record-breaking eight hours. That buzz has drawn the attention of app developers who may be interested in getting in on the ground floor of what very well could be a disruption to the gaming world.

iHeartRadio is the first radio app to buy into OUYA's future and has announced it will be among the apps on the console when it's projected to launch in Q1 2013.

"We are excited to share that Clear Channel’s iHeartRadio is coming to OUYA! Now we'll be able to take the experience to a whole new level, enabling OUYA to go beyond gaming and become a full service, affordable destination for people seeking great entertainment."

The app is Built in HTML 5 for OUYA, and those who backed the project at $95 or more will be able to find, create, and customize free internet-streaming music right from their console as soon as the console is distributed to the masses.
